Chopin Concert Hall (Chopin Gallery)

The Basics

On arrival, ticket holders are typically welcomed with a glass of wine and seated inside an intimate performance hall decorated with portraits of Chopin and other composers. Chopin’s celebrated nocturnes, mazurkas, and waltzes are performed by some of Poland’s leading contemporary pianists; resident musicians include Witold Wilczek, Anna Boczar, and Paweł Kubica. 1-hour performances leave plenty of time for dinner at a restaurant in Krakow’s main Market Square (Rynek Główny).

Things to Know Before You Go

• Guarantee a seat by purchasing your tickets in advance.

• See who's performing each night on the Cracow Concerts website.

• The concert gallery is located up several flights of stairs and is therefore inaccessible to travelers using wheelchairs and strollers.

How to Get There

The Chopin Gallery is located on the fourth floor of a historic townhouse at 14 Sławkowska Str. in Krakow’s Old Town. It's just two blocks away from the Market Square (Rynek Główny) and within easy walking distance of all Old Town attractions and restaurants. Parking in the area is limited.

When to Get There

Chopin concerts take place every evening, year-round. Most seating is not assigned, so arrive early for the best seats.

The Bonerowski Palace

Bonerowski Palace—located just around the corner from the Chopin Galler—is considered the finest hotel in all of Poland. A limited number of luxury suites overlooking Market Square are appointed with historic furnishings fit for royalty. Even travelers without the budget for a nightly reservation can step inside the 13th-century, UNESCO-listed building for a glimpse of the dazzling Swarovski chandelier above the lobby, which is the largest in Europe.
